Luis Rioja

Rioja made the switch to Valencia last season and immediately took over the starting job on the right wing. He played in 36 matches (33 starts) and nearly topped 3,000 minutes. He was just as productive as he had been with Alaves, scoring five times and adding three assists. His overall volume was encouraging as well, he shot 30 times and created 35 chances. He also had a split of set-pieces, taking 63 across the season, the second most on the team. Rioja is in a great position for another strong season in Valencia, potentially with double-digit goal contribution upside.
